Everything from classic Reinhardt and Junkrat to a Rosie the Riveter-styled Zarya and chef McCree showed up on the show floor. Skin variants like witch Mercy and bee D.Va were also popular choices among PAX East cosplayers.

Tons of Overwatch cosplayers gathered March 12 at the PAX East Overwatch cosplay meetup after parading through the Boston Convention Center hallways.
